Because that isn't what that option does. It's typical Microsoft geek speak. "Background printing" here means that the program does all the work of preparing the print job "in the background" while the rest of the program continues to operate as usual. When the "Background printing" option is turned off, the rest of the program stops responding while the print job is prepared. This would usually be noticeable only with a very large document on a relatively slow computer. If you want to prevent a background image from printing, the proper box to uncheck is Tools > Options > Print > Background colors and images (in the "Include with document" part of the dialog). -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
